PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan (PNA) – This province was the latest jurisdiction in the country to declare Filipino “drag queen” Pura Luka Vega persona non grata (unwanted person).
Vega’s claim to infamy came as a result of a stage performance in which he rapped the"Ama Namin" and impersonated the Black Nazarene, which many devout Catholics found disturbing.
Arzaga said the drag queen's July performance turned a sacred Christian prayer into a disgraceful mockery, completely ignoring the religious sensitivities, beliefs, and faith held by the extensive Catholic and Christian community in Palawan. "If she had done it in a temple, it might have been more acceptable, but she chose to do it in a bar. That's why it became highly deplorable – because she transformed a prayer that should be revered within the walls of a church into a parody," he added.
The province of Palawan has recently wrapped up its year-long commemoration of 400 years of Christianity. This significant event underscores the unwavering commitment of Palaweños to their Christian beliefs.
